You should know about this case if you haven’t heard about it yet. Jillian Ludwig was an 18 year old musician here in Nashville attending Belmont University. She died a few days ago after getting hit in the head by a bullet fired by Shaquille Taylor who was out on the street corner shooting randomly at passing cars.
Taylor is of course a career criminal with an extensive rap sheet. This past spring he was charged with aggravated assault when he shot into a vehicle with children inside. The charges were dismissed and Taylor was set free after the court deemed him mentally unfit for trial. They didn’t send him to a mental institution. They just let him go. Now Jillian Ludwig is dead.
This is what “compassion” for these violent parasites gets you. It’s a trade off. Compassion for them means abject cruelty to innocent people like Jillian Ludwig. It means that Jillian Ludwig has to die so that we can be nice to a criminal scumbag who contributes absolutely nothing to society.
Society would be a better place if Shaquille Taylor was not in it. It would be better place if Jillian Ludwig was still in it. But instead Ludwig is dead and Taylor is alive. This is what we do now. Time and time and time again. We trade the worst for the best. We sacrifice the lives of the people you want in your community for the sake of people that nobody wants anywhere near them.
Pray for Peyton. Pray for his mother and family. His time is coming to an end. We need a cure for DIPG. He may not make it to Christmas or his birthday. Please pray for Peyton and his family, especially his mom who is staying strong for Peyton but falling apart in times when she is alone. Lord, please give us a cure for DIPG. In Jesus name, Amen ✝️🙏❤️🙏✝️
Please pray for Carter and his family as they got the new no DIPG parents ever wants to hear. Lord we need a miracle. We need a cure for DIPG. Please hear our prayers. In Jesus name, we pray ✝️🙏🕊️🙏✝️
From Carter’s mom and our DIPG advocate, Jo:
”Please send your love, warm thoughts and prayers for Carter and his family, he has fought so hard and his family have done a wonderful job of walking him through this heartbreaking journey. The decision to stop treatment is always extremely painful. We hope and we pray for lots more days, lots more joy and wonder for Carter, he deserves that.
Carters appointment on Thursday didn’t go as expected again.
We got there and everything was going along smooth, except they were having trouble finding a good spot to draw labs from. They found one spot finally and went for it. After a couple hours of trying to get labs from it, they said that spot won’t work. The vein was too tiny and the blood was clotting too fast from it. They came back again and he just has no good spots in his veins anymore. They checked all over his body. Arms, legs, feet, everything.
They said that with them not able to get the labs because his blood isnt coming out, we couldn’t do the trial.
Then came the blow I wasn’t expecting on Thursday.
They said it was time to take carter home and make him comfortable because he is getting ready to pass away.
The tumor is growing and making carters health decline faster than predicted. His body is now telling us he wants left alone medically. We can’t do the trial, they said radiation is off the table too because they now believe the growth is in more severe areas and where he’s already had radiation.
Carter is not in any pain at all though. He told me the other day he feels he’s just a blob anymore and it makes him mad. I know he’s exhausted from all of these pokes and appointments. He’s just a few days shy of being 17 months past diagnosis.
He’s my baby, the best thing to ever come into my life. Someone I can truly call my soulmate because we just understand each other without even having to say a word. I get him and he gets me. But being the one to have to say yes, I believe he is done, let’s leave him to go home and rest was by far the hardest thing I’ve had to do. All I want is what’s best for my baby!
His birthday is in March so I asked the doctors if they think he will make it until then and they said they don’t believe so. I told them how this weekend I had plans for us to do a family Christmas. Something in my gut just said to do it soon. She said that’s a great idea because he’d be here to enjoy it.
I asked her then about the radiation for a third time and that’s when she told me they think it’d do more hard then good at this point. It’s too soon from when he did it last and they believe it’s in areas he’s already had it twice causing the most damage.
I promise you when I say I’ve asked anything I possibly could to help Carter, I did. With DIPG, after getting the diagnosis, my brain was going nonstop. What can I do to help him get better, what can I do to give him the best life ever, and how can I mentally prepare for this journey moving forward. You mentally prepare for this day but it’s still like a hard blow to your chest. I knew this day was coming soon. Carter has been visually declining.
So please don’t treat us, especially him, any differently though. We would like to continue our lives like normal so he doesn’t know any different. He’s happy, pain free, and pleased with his life.
Please, if you’ve already walked this journey or know someone who has, don’t tell us what is coming or when. This is my son, his journey, and his time for everything and we will figure things out each step of the way.
I also will not be posting pictures of his declining. Every family handles this different, and that’s fine, but i know what Carter would want and that’s to be respected through this and have him be remembered who who he IS not what this terrible cancer has done to him.”
Please pray for Carter & his family today and the days that follow today. 🙏✝️🙏God is right beside them every step. Courage for Carter ❤️
I am crying to tell you that Skylar passed away last night.
From Skylar mother, Jay Jay, “And she's gone. 11/10/23 1154pm.” From Jo Bishop, DIPG Advocate, “Skylar has passed away after a twenty month battle with dipg, Skylar faced cancer with a maturity far beyond her eight years, captured our hearts and taught us all life lessons along the way. She is now at peace, free from the pain and anxiety of fighting cancer, for that we rejoice for her. Skylar fought with tenacity and courage, so strong and bright, she had so much more to give to the world. She deserved to grow up and fulfil her dreams. I am so very sweet girl, the world has failed you in the worst possible way and you deserved so much more. Skylar is not a statistic, she is someone’s pride and joy. We have to do better for these children. This is why we fight, so that children like Skylar can stay with their families, the place where they should be.
Run, jump, dance and play sweet girl, no more pain or broken body. Your loved ones will miss you but will see you soon.
Please keep Skylar’s family in your thoughts and prayers
‘And she's gone. 11/10/23 1154pm’
A kind of light spread out from her. And everything changed color. And the world opened out. And a day was good to awaken to. And there were no limits to anything. And the people of the world were good and handsome. And I was not afraid any more.”
Let us pray for her mom and family as Skylar was carried to heaven by Jesus. ✝️🙏🕊️🙏✝️
@MeetMeAtCalvary I'm so sorry for your devastating loss. The only solice you will feel is knowing she was carried up to God and is no longer broken...I don't know you all but I'm praying for a peace that surpasses all understanding ..🙏😔😇
@joshspahr@JackPosobiec Mine is now in virtual classes. Don't EVER want to send her into an environment where she doesn't know from minute to minute if she's safe. I get it, life isn't always rosey. But geez...school is SUPPOSED to be safe. I love my kid enough to sacrifice!🥰

@MeetMeAtCalvary and rescheduled for 2 weeks from then. I just want it out. Dr said 3 radiation treatments as it's contained in a nodulare. I'm not giving up. It is what it is and God has gotten me this far not to leave me. Just need 🙏 to calm my fears. Thanks!
@MeetMeAtCalvary I just found your site today...I am in desperate need of prayers. I had heart issues that were taken care of in Sept. But in the interim they discovered a spot on my lower right lung. Biopsy scheduled for yesterday was cancelled bc Dr was sick ...(cont)
